Hey,

I upgeaded using the sceme from this HP: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server ... It returned very many errors, which I unfortunately didn't copy...

After the GUI was "Installing updates" it returned the output message: Installation complete but not all packages have been installed completely (not exactly as the output was on German) The GUI didn't even "Clean the System" or "Reboot"!!!

After that I typed "dpkg --configure -a" in a bash to configure all unconfigured packages. I got following output: http://pastebin.com/m384f5326 ...

I am scared to reboot my machine as a lot of packages are not installed or configured!!! Not even "aptitude" is intalled... "apt-get" is installed but is reporting that a lot of packages have to be installed but can't do that due to unmet depencies..

What can I do to fix my System? Thanks in advance for your help :p

Tarik

Try installing the libdns43 package first.

sudo apt-get install libdns43then


sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
